states whom voters would rather spend some time with. that's something the white house sees as an opening. that interview there, the spanish language interview, the president down there trying to widen his lead in the state of florida and nationwide among that key voting bloc. there were not all softballs. there were some zingers, some chin music, some fast balls on immigration. the host kept going after the president accusing him of breaking his promise on immigration reform. the president defended himself. but on this question of 47%, the president seizing that opportunity to once again hammer away at mitt romney. >> mike, i need to tell you in a straw poll of our office, of those who would like to have dinner or lunch with either the president or mr. romney, you came out on top. nbc's mike viqueira, thank you very much indeed. we'll be right back. haters best get to bloggin' ♪ in it ♪ so hot right now d esigthneatr ♪ our ♪ sunglasses be foggin' ♪ this crowd is classic ♪ so we play 'em like rachmaninoff ♪ ♪ just hooked
